Students in a first-year cell biology course positively view computerized testing. Computer-administered exams enhanced their study habits and learning experience over three years.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Computerized testing offers administrative benefits but student attitudes remain under-researched.
  • Understanding student perceptions is crucial for effective implementation of digital assessment tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate student attitudes toward computerized testing in a first-year cell biology and histology course.
  • To assess the influence of computerized testing on students' study habits over a three-year period.

Main Methods:

  • Administered multiple-choice and image-based extra credit examinations.
  • Conducted summative image-based examinations using a computer-based format.
  • Collected data on student attitudes and study habit changes over three academic years.
